    My proposal was that all Americans should be required to attend such training. Based on your criticism, it seems you not only agree with that proposal, but that your belief in the need for such mandated, public training is even greater than my own.

    I think it should be at least 5 classroom hours, offered in high school during one’s junior or senior year. My state mandates a “government” class in those years. I think “use of force” should be a specific, week-long unit in that class, or its equivalent.

      I’m down with mandatory weapons training as a condition of gun ownership. It can cover use-of-force, safety, de-escalation etc. I think 5 hours is too little.

        You can’t make it a condition of gun ownership. Your options are to mandate it to all of the American public (the militia) or not. You cannot mandate it only to gun owners.

        What part of this are you not comprehending?
